I read a headline BBC stops calling Jesus a bastard in Digg Offbeat News. I thought they (BBC folks) had written something about Jesus being a bastard. No. Actually, it's "member of the public" who wrote:
"Are you a christian? You do know that jesus had to hide all his short life he lived in those promised land because his tribesmen used to call him fatherless, ridiculed him for being a B-A-S-T-A-R-D..."

So, BBC removed the comment and others about jesus being gay...sorry, I meant jesus being a bastard.
I'm awed that the BBC did this. Comment moderation is of course necessary at some point but still.... they can't prove jesus wasn't a bastard so why delete it? :) As an alternative, I don't think closing the topic would've helped, either.
I leave you with a comment from another member of the public (Go, Nathan!):
A ******* is a person whose parents, at the time of their birth, were not married to each other.this comment was copied from thisislondon.co.uk
So if God was Jesus' father and never married Mary then Jesus was a *******.
It seems strange that those who claim to have the power of the one true God(tm) on their side have such thin skins!
